smcwalters 's review for:
The Cruellest Month
by Louise Penny
Read this one to catch up with characters, like old friends, to visit Three Pines once again, but not necessarily for the mystery.
The one thing that I felt was off is that the killers in the Gamache books sometimes go from being "normal" people (based on the glimpses of their interior lives) to being mustache-twirling masterminds who've accomplished some insanely complex plans when their crime is revealed. In this one, the amount of dependence the murder plot had on predicting the (sometimes VERY specific) actions of completely uninvolved people for their delicate plan to work...was tough to buy. All the same, I've recommended the Gamache books to others as stories that dive into the inner lives and worlds of the main characters--the mystery is often secondary.
